If you have Jordan go head-to-head against taller players one-on-one, the results wouldn't be good, it's also a waste of Jordan's dynamic talent.
Jordan had defended Ah Gan before; he always wanted to use his dynamic advantage to take risks and hoped to steal the ball.
But Ah Gan's ball protection is excellent, with one of the lowest turnover rates in the League; it's hard for Jordan to steal from him.
One-on-one skill-wise, Ah Gan is also among the league's best, with a weapon arsenal so vast it's unparalleled in NBA history.
Many times he simply chooses not to use them, not that he can't. There was once a major showdown between Gan Qiao, where Gan Guoyang almost used every offensive skill, leaving the Bulls and Jordan shaking their heads.
Thus, once it moves to a one-on-one duel, Jordan can't defeat Ah Gan; this was proven years ago during a tour in China.
It's the natural advantage of a big player over a smaller one.
